Book About Nursing Injured Owl is a Hoot

I reviewed a book I did not think I'd connect with, but ended up thoroughly enjoying. It is called Alfie & Me and it's about an ecologist out on Long Island who ends up with a badly injured baby squirrel. Carl Safina nurses the squirrel, and eventually lets "Alfie" out to scope out his back yard. 
As Alfie gets healthier, she gets more independent, but still seeks Safina out for a frozen mouse, and the two call each other in the back yard. 
Alfie eventually finds a mate, lays some eggs, and welcomes a few owlets into the world. 
The review, in the East Hampton Star, is entitled "Owl in the Family" and you can read it here. 
Safina writes, "Whenever I saw or even thought of Alfie, I felt something between us that united us. We did, after all, interact. We had a certain mutual understanding. To create a metaphor from physics, we had developed a covalent bond. And that was real enough to hold us."
